Poultry Notes.

One essential in keeping fowls for
profit during the winter is to have the
hen-house warm. Hens that are
Obliged to seek shelter in g. neglected
coop will seldom lay eggs. 1t has al
ways been my practice at the advent
of cold weather to close up all the
crevices and cracks with old newspa-
pers or rags.
During the period when the poultry
is confined indoors by the snow, to
prevent them from roosting during
che daytime, have often tackled an
old sheet or blanket to the ceiling and
allowed it to hang down in front of
the roosts, removing it just before
dark. By this simple method you
keep your birds from lounging.
Farmers are always troubled more
or less to know what to do with hen
that dies during the winter, when the
ground is frozen stiff. Before the
ground becomes too hard to break
through, dig hole, perhaps two feet

Eastwood Shavings.

A Canadian beekeeper has discov-
cred q new use for Eastwood shavings.
He was bordering the feeding problem
when an idea occurred to him, which he
tested as follows: 81 filled everything
that would hold honey and syrup,
then crammed the vessels loosely full
of shavings, heaping some on top,
and had daisy fee 4ers to put any
where 1 wanted, either behind the
loose division boards or in empty up
per stories, raising the quilt at one cor
ner to let the bees pass up to the
feeder. The rapidity with which these
were emp led was something remark
able. OF course, in feeding from any
thing except wood, was very careful
to have at least one shaving hang
over the edge of the vessel. In feeding
I found that it made little difference
whether honey or sugar syrup was
used, though I prefer for fall feeding g.
mixture of half good honey and half
very thick orgranulated sugar syrup"

Glover Roots.


Prof. Roberts, of Cornell University,
has been making some interesting ex-
periments with clover. Taking q small
piece of average growth as a sample
he found that the dried tops yielded
1926 pounds per acre, while the
roots, also dried, gave an average Of
1898 pounds. Farmers often speak
of the large tap root of the clover
plant, but few have any idea that it
is greater in bulk and value than the
hay. 1t shows why it is that however
managed, q field after having borne a
clover crop is fitted for any other.
Probably making the clover into hay
is the best of all methods, as it insures
uninterrupted growth Of the root
until the clover is cut, which is
when the root has attained it's full
size. When clover is pastured the crop
ping of the leaves and tramping of the
crown of the plant by grazing stock
may easily check root growth more
than the value Of the dropplngs of
stock as g. manure. Besides, the hay
cut is not lost as fertilizer to the
land if fed on the farm, and the ma.
nure made from it is carefully saved.
If after cutting for hay the clover is al
lowed to made a second growth for
seed the clover roots grow rapidly and
extend much more deeply during this
brief time. The second growth of
clover always occurs during hot and
generally dry weather, and at such
times the roots go down into the sub
soil in anarch of needed mOiatl1ra

Cattle Raising.

During the past ten years the cattle
plains of the West have been the agri-
cultural Ell dorado. Bright boys,
raised in the New England and Middle
States, have left their fathers farms,
hoping to amass independent fortunes
by raising cattle. The pioneer owners,
who had free prairies to fatten their
steers on, and who made haste to get
rich and to get out, were the only
lucky ones. The trouble is the disap-
pearance Of what is known as bunch
grass, the long, heavy grass of the
prairles, which is juicy and fattening
In the summer, and which in the winter
dries standing, so that with even
two feet of snow on the ground the
cured tops poke themselves above the
surface. This bunch grass has fat
tened unknown numbers of buffaloes
in the past, and millions of cattle
these last twenty years. 1t has been
burned over by prairie fires, trampled
on by thousands of hoofs and eaten
by the cattle until it has at last been
driven out. The pastures have year
by year grown smaller and smaller,
the herds bigger. The grass has mean
WuIlo UG0u 06Ueu CLOSET GuO CLOSER,
until last summer the bunch grass
grew only to the height of few inches.
This disappearance of the bunch
grass will bring disaster among the
cattle.raisers, and many who have
thought themselves enormously rich
will be left penniless. We are told,
for instance, of one herd for which $37,.
600 was paid year ago last spring.
Twelve thousand dollars was paid to
winter them. When marketed they
were as thin as could be and stand, and
when sold they brought $4,000, in
stead of the $37, 900 they cost.
The result will be that the young
Eastern and Middle state cattlemen,
with the Englishmen who have III
vested fortunes in the business. will
come out shorn, and will return to
their homes with what they can save
from the wreckage, to engage in less
profitable, but more legitimate, agri-
cultural pursuits.
